  "G" marks messages that are killed from server (you can't reach them
  anymore).

  I saw the star only when I subscribe to some group and first it's

  I use adaptive scoring and catchup at the end of reading. Catch up can
  be more flexible and done to region or from/to the point.
  You can read help about adaptive scoring. It is very usefull.
